Modern Warfare 3 Won't Have A Prestige Edition

Modern Warfare 2's Prestige Edition bundled a working pair of night-vision goggles in with the game. Black Ops, meanwhile, packed a remote RC car modeled on the in-game killstreak - thankfully without the explosive ordnance. So, what should we expect from Modern Warfare 3, then? A personal submersible? Our very own Bouncing Betty?

How about, nothing? Yes, that's right, Activision has opted to eschew Modern Warfare 3's Prestige Edition, with community guru Rob Bowling breaking the news on Twitter. Instead, MW3 will retail with the standard and Hardened Editions instead, with Bowling offering no explanation as to why the Prestige variant was dropped. Any theories? [Twitter]
